After hearing both sides, Yu Xuan and Baozi fell into deep thought.
At least, that was how it appeared on the surface.
In truth, the moment both factions mentioned "our senior instructed us to raid gates for experience", Yu Xuan and Baozi had already seen through the entire situation.
An accidental discovery of the Sky Silkworm.
Two groups with similar backing.
They wanted an off-record resolution.
Not justice.
Not fairness.
'Haha,' Yu Xuan replied mentally, 'they want us to close this quietly. And they're prepared to pay.'
Yu Xuan nodded slightly, as if pondering seriously.
"Hm… but it's not like you were the first ones to discover the Sky Silkworm," he said casually.
Silence followed.
Just silence.
Baozi leaned back, then extended his hand lazily.
Almost immediately, both parties reacted.
Discreetly, as if this were the most natural thing in the world, each side handed over a small pouch filled with high-quality spirit stones.
